Is this sword legal to carry in California?
It is almost 28 inches long, from tip to the end of the actual blade it is 18 and a half inches. My friend told me as long as its in a sheath and visible and under 30 inches it is legal to carry. I know pulling it out and waving it around will break a penal code or two but is it legal to carry it in the open? It has a leather/mesh sheath and is more of a ninja-esque type of sword.
And it is not dull, it is very very sharp.

A sword would be a dirk or dagger under California's definition. It would be illegal to carry the weapon concealed on your person, and (due to its length) illegal to possess on a school ground, in a government building, or at a public meeting. There would be no other prohibition under state law. There might be some local laws (city or county) on the subject, which may or may not be enforceable.
